Dr. Ewin took me on as a patient to help me work through some issues I had. He is the best doctor I've ever seen, he listens and takes his time with you, he even gave me his personal line If I was having issues and couldn't get ahold of him at the office. Every single penny I've spent with him has been worth it. He helped save my life. If your looking for a doctor who will do whatever he can to help you, I suggest You see him. He's extremely reasonable and really is worth it. Most doctors just take your money and send you on your way, this doctor isn't one of those. I'm so blessed to have found him.

Found the office from google search, was the first place I called. I set appointment without doing my homework first which is my fault but had i known how Dr. Ewin goes about how he treats his patients and the carlessness of personal their personal information I would have never made the mistake of going to see him, I hope that others may have better experiences, due to the fact that people need help getting off of prescribed drugs a treatment facility like this is much needed. But in my opinion this was a very bad experience and I would not recommend His practice to anyone looking for a doctor to help them during such a fradgile time of their lives.
